Patch: 144 cats surrendered in hoarding case

According to the Waukesha Patch, The Humane Animal Welfare Society in Waukesha County is now the temporary home to 50 cats that were among 144 surrendered in a hoarding case.

The shelter is seeking help placing the cats and donations of food and litter for the pets, as well as financial assistance for antibiotics and surgery. The shelter is “treating all those we feel we can help,” Executive Director Lynn Olenik said in a news release.

“Most of the cats were ill and suffering, and living in deplorable conditions,” she said.
